Hottie Update #12

Hot 100 Week 12

1. Nurture my Body, Soul & Mind
   • I really need to spend some Me, Myself & I time every day and focus on grounding myself. When I am not grounded I find I swing all over the place. I'm unorganized, stressed, a little more negative towards myself and possibly judgmental to others.
     • Week 12 (Dec 10^th-16th^h): (C) I didn’t spend as much “me” time as I needed this week… unless you call wrapping Christmas presents “me” time…  I’ve been really really stressed lately and really need to work on this. I’ve had a headache all week that is due partially to the weather but I’m pretty sure it also relates to the fact that my shoulders are up around my ears. Tense, Tense, Tense…
2. Put 110% effort into my 3x strength training sessions, and 3x Interval cardio sessions
   • In the last 2 years, I do not feel like I have worked at my hardest during my workouts. I've just been going through the motions. Now some days my body aches, and my muscles are sore but I still feel I could do more. I am going to try to do my absolute best without burning myself out. And in order to not burn out, I need to make sure that goal #1 is a priority.
     • Week 12 (Dec 10th-16thh): (B) I worked out on the weekend as per my usual, then the gym on Monday, Hot Yoga on Tuesday and nothing since. So I’m not giving myself much credit for this week because the effort was only half there. I chose to go Christmas shopping instead. Once I get that out of the way, then the stress will lessen, but then again, the stress will lessen if I just work it out…. Oi vey!
3. 90/10 rule for eating.
   • 90% of the time I want to eat organic, clean, healthy meals. As few chemicals as possible. 10% (or less) of the time will be my leeway. Those times where either the supply isn't available or I just need a "free" meal. I loathe to grant myself a free "DAY" as I can quickly undo everything I have gained during the previous six days of eating 100% on track.
     • Week 12 (Dec 10^th-16th^h): (A) I am still on track for this. However on Wednesday we had our floor Christmas potluck and I ate as best as I could but without knowing the calories. I’m pretty sure I was over by about 200 calories on this day but I am also not worried about that.
4. Track an average of 10,000 steps every day.  
   • Every day is not too much of a stretch. Even on easy days where all I want to do is walk, then I will walk 10,000 steps worth. That's only about an hour of walking really. It can be done.
     • Week 12 (Dec 10^th-16th^h): (C) My fitbit is cool. I’m averaging about 6500 steps this past week – could be a LOT higher and I’m going to work on this one.
       

5. Stop being wasteful.
   • Sometimes at the end of the week I throw out more bad fruit and veggies than I should be. I need to learn to only buy what I need for a couple of days and then make sure I eat it. I hate waste and I sometimes over-buy a product and it goes bad by the time I eat it. I live close to a grocery store so I should only buy a couple of days’ worth.
     • Week 12 (Dec 10^th-16th^h): (A-)  Did good again this week!

I found this week to be tough because I felt like I was going to explode all week. My mood was volatile and I just felt moody and crappy. It’s all stress related and I know that so I didn’t take it out on anyone. Nope, not  a soul knew I was in such a bad mood. Lucky Mr. Sandra  (hee hee).

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
